Chapter 11 (1/2)
There was a peculiar look on Zhou Quan's face He looked so on the tip of his tongue, but he seemed reluctant to let it out
Then, with a silly sihtly with his knee and quietly whispered, ”Do you reckon that the person who had grown a full pair of wings would soar and hover in the blue sky?”
”Maybe” Chu Feng nodded, then he felt a bit aed creature reported in the news, so why did you look all faltered and shy?”
”Don't you re red fruits I took from a weed?” Zhou Quan carefully unwrapped a paper ball as he spoke Inside was that stalk of weed that had been dug out earlier Its fist-sized fruit was like a beautifully wrought carved agate with a rich aroma
”If I put my life on the line and nibble away this fruit, what do you think I can grow?” Zhou Quan asked Now, he looked even more shi+lly-shally than before
This ti did not crack a smile, instead he had a solemn expression on his face This would not have been much of a deal if they had never learnt about the potential of such a fruit Now as they looked at it, they realized how
”I reckon we should wait for ed man in the future We need to be certain about any potential risks that associate with it,” Chu Feng said
”What an aromatic fruit you have there What fruit is it?” asked the ed man who had offered them the ride
The car was speeding away frohway towards the end of the horizon
”It's a wild fruit No ideas what species it belongs to, so I don't really dare to eat it myself,” Zhou Quan answered
Indeed, Zhou Quan dared not to eat it Just in case that ould grow on hi, but rather some horns or tails, by then, he wouldn't even have the chance to regret it
”Right Don't eat it if you don't know about it Nothing could beat a tied chauffeur kindly reh
He orried about his family
hell seee occurrences cropped up almost everywhere across the country Especially after personally experiencing it, he had never been so terrified in his life before He only wished to get hohout the journey, the car see speed
One had to aded erous, yet the thrill it brought was unparalleled by even the wildest adventure It was quite an experience, but not much for Zhou Quan
”I joyride! Woo Hoo!” But soon, the continual jolting, rocking and tossing made Zhou Quan realize that this was not the thrill his body wanted Carsickness soon developed into nausea and retching He then gradually fell into a torpor
The car wasfelt a bit dizzy by looking through theat the speedily receding scenery outside He orried that driving so fast ht lead to a severe accident
He looked back and saw that bush of verdant vines still shrouded the vastness of the sky Despite hours of speedy advance on the country road, they were still under the watch of this enormous cluster of vines
It was suspending in round It looked like a green castle of sky-high stature At the sa nificent
Deity Bio ht have just been randoh and vigorous spirits
Now as he thought about it, he realized that the naht have carried certain specific ie demeanors at tihts into the truth that had been hidden away fro so time
He finally comprehended that uniform look of indifference and aloofness on the faces of all her faoodbye after graduation It was the look of despise and contempt, and it was also his status as an ordinary outsider that made him unworthy of any forms of interaction with Lin Naoi In the end, all he deserved was a wave of hand to farehat had never belonged to him
”What's the matter brother? Why do you look so du out of the ith unseeing eyes
”Thinking about htlessly blurted out
”Did you break up with her? And now in a train of regret?” Zhou Quan asked with a smile
”No It was her She broke up with htly and honestly To hiraceful to be frank about it
”Did you let go of it so fast?” Zhou Quan was surprised then began to wail mournfully For him, his first love could never be deleted from memory easily He was all heart-broken for almost two years He felt that he could never let this die in his memory His latest visit to Tibet was to actually cherish the rief and misery
”She had always been flat with h incidence of us walking abreast It had started plain as water, and then it ended in a prosaic way”
”Why? What happened between the two of you?” Zhou Quan curiously asked
Chu Feng shook his head wearily He had let it out, but understandably, he was also coy about the details of his insipid romance He wanted to say no more
At last, after hundreds of li of endless journey, theand Zhou Quan could no longer take this lift They had to be dropped off somewhere before their destination
”Those vines are out of sight now!” Zhou Quan realized that the blue sky was no longer clouded by the overgrowth of vines This out-of-darkness moment made him feel ever so relieved
Under the shade of the overbearing vines, there was an inexpressible feeling of constraint
Half an hour later, they entered a neighboring city They came to an inter-city bus station where they would then catch a bus heading northwards towards Taihang Mountains
After the bus had been successfully dispatched, they felt a burst of ease and relief They had been fearing that the current situation , but now it proved that their worry was redundant
”To hly likely that this area has not encountered any strange occurrences so far I think all the strangeness was only happening in that particular part that we just went through I reckon everything that has happened so far was all thanks to that cluster of vines overhead!” Zhou Quan seenant
This coach's final destination was a metropolis in the north that had been the ancient capital of six dynasties
During its trip, it would stop by the foot of Taihang Mountains
”If everything goes as planned, ill get ho said
There were only eight hundred li between that northern metropolis and where they departed, so even if they ran into a congested traffic, they would still arrive before the sun set
Strange things occurred in succession at many places, so naturally, these occurrences became the most discussed topic in the coach
”It is said that missiles have been used to bo in space”
”Yeah, I heard about that too But I'm yet see any official reports from a reliable source, so I can't decide if this ruus”
The voices of debate in the coach were all in a muddle Discussions were mixed with a jumble of different opinions
Chu Feng and Zhou Quan looked at each other at a loss for words They had i in ht it was crucial to bombard it at once
Time flew as the coach smoothly drove on
Zhou Quan sighed He tried to search for more news on his communicator, but his search was futile until he finally found a picture of the wingedpicked up by the staff from the Deity Biomedical Group
